That is, he took a bland corporate diversity training class and tried starting fights. The tell here is "you can't say that" with no antecedent for "that". Yeah: if you tell your diversity class that women aren't cut out for work at Google, you're going to cause a fight.

I honestly don't know why this is even relevant. He told a masturbation joke as a part of a hastily written retreat skit that people called sexist and caused a shitstorm.
> Three sources allege that Damore told what they characterized as a masturbation-related joke during the course of the performance, which fell flat and offended some in the audience. However, two sources attributed the backlash to the performance not to any malice on the part of Damore, but instead to his awkward delivery.
At this point people are going to try and pick apart his past in order to attack his character. We should be better than that here.

I submitted that yesterday.
Whatever you think of this guy it doesn't surprise me that this other stuff is coming out. It seems like you would have seen his views in his behavior in the past... which these new things seem to show.

The salient excerpt:
> while they described the skits as typically a “roast,” they emphasized that “the goal is not to offend.”
Really just seems like some more character assassination by Gizmodo.
